I Bought The Viral Lululemon Dupes Amazon | CRZ Yoga Activewear Review NOT Sponsored

January 9, 2025 · In: Fitness, Workout Clothes

I tried the viral Lululemon Dupes Amazon to let you know if these are the real deal and if these could be the next best thing, or if they are just another waste of money. I’m spending my money so that you don’t have to.

Do you want to look good, feel comfortable and not break the bank when choosing the best activewear for your midlife health and fitness journey? Well I’m on a mission to help you do just that. In this series of discovering the best workout clothes for older women.

You can see the main directory of this mission HERE as I’m listing all the top brands and working through testing them out for myself to help you know which are the best.

Best Workout Clothes For Older Women

I tried the viral Lululemon dupes on Amazon to see if it’s worth the money, or are we just better saving up and getting the real thing? 

Lululemon is almost a cult like brand that has a very loyal following in recent years, though as any fitness fasionista will know, these babies come with a hefty price tag. It’s the high price point I have only one lonely item of Lululemon items in my fitness wear collection. I would LOVE my wardobe to be filled with the stuff, BUT even as a fitness coach I haven’t been able to justify the price.

Dupes have gained immense popularity and I think that is mainly because many of us are feeling the need to tighten up our spending habits.

Now I am all for quality over quantity, I do think that a lot of dupes are questionable and the quality can sometimes be garbage. This isn’t great for the consumer or the environment.

But when money is tight, and I know many of us are feeling the pinch right now, sometimes dupes can be a great alternative. There is a reason these dupes have been getting rave reviews, spoiler alert, I’m pretty impressed.

In this article I am going to be reviewing the lululemon amazon look-alike brand CRZ Yoga. Many of the CRZ Yoga items have five-star reviews and have a very similar look, material composition but at a fraction of the price.

You can also watch the video of this below or read on for each item review

I did get the sizing mixed up with a few of these items that was really on me. As a Brit living in Europe I am still getting used to European and french sizing, and on this account I got it wrong with a few items. I am am usually a UK size 14. But the CRZ Yoga range generally comes in a UK sizes 6-16 US XXS-XL so not a massively inclusive size range but similar to that of Lululemon. 

** Disclaimer – this post uses affiliate links. This just means I make a small commission should you choose to purchase using my links. I really appreciate your support and will only share my honest option on all items.

1. CRZ YOGA Women’s Cotton Pima Racerback Workout Tank

This is a basic tank, I really loved the feel of these tops a super soft material though it is quite thin. I think this actually makes for a great workout top as it’s extreemly lightweight and very stretchy.

Made from Pima cotton which according to a quick google search

“Pima cotton is an ultra-soft fabric that incorporates long cotton fibers and as such is known to more durable than other cottons”  

As I show in the video I just ordered the wrong size and so it was a little too tight for my linking. I would 100% order this again, but in a bigger size as I love how light it felt and I will keep this post updated with how well the items that I keep wash.

2. CRZ Yoga Butterlux Yoga Leggings

These amazon leggings are meant to be a dupe for the Lululemon align leggings. Now whilst I don’t have them to compare to myself, a few friends and also some of my clients have these leggings and I know that the Lululemon leggings are a lot thicker. These leggings are super thin but they do almost feel like a second skin. I almost felt a little naked in these. They are super soft, comfortable and very very stretch with their four-way stretch.

I did test these out on a conditioning workout, though I did find them very comfortable, I love the super high waist but as the top band has very little structure to it and so I found that the waistband just rolled down. As many of my fellow big belly ladies know that this happens with most leggings, it was eve more so with these than I experience with any of my other leggings.

3. CRZ YOGA Women’s Pima Cotton Long Sleeve Sports T-Shirt

This is the same soft stretchy material as the tank top and though I got this in the same size, this was a much more oversized fit. I love the look and fit of this top and it was definitly a keeper for me. Though now after wearing it, it does rise up when I put my arms over my head so the bigger size may have been better. I do however still really like this top and it’s washed well so far.

This is a dupe for the  Lululemon Drapey Softstreme Off-The-Shoulder Long-Sleeve Shirt which comes in at €78 so at €31 this is a great affordable alternative and the amazon version actually comes in a far wider range of colours which I love!

4. CRZ YOGA Women’s Sleeveless Open Back Tank Top

Using the same super soft stretchy fabric I once again would have really liked this top had it been the right size. I love the range of different colors it comes in and in fact has more color options that the Lulu versions. I love that they have longer tanks as I often hate that most brands only do crop top type tanks and as a midlife woman I like to have my mid drift covered a little more.

Though once again the sizing was wrong for me, I also wasn’t a massive fan of this colour. I always love a mauve to look at, but with my complexion I feel it just washes me out. I would get this again though in a different size and colour.

5. CRZ Yoga Dolphin Shorts V’s Lululemon Hotty Hot Short

These CRZ yoga shorts are a dupe of the Lululemon Hotty Hot Short, and I do actually have a lululemon version of these to compare to. Disregarding the fit as I once again got the wrong size, these shorts are a pretty perfect alternative to the real thing. They have the same material composition which is super lightweight and has a nice stretch to it. The dupe doesn’t have an waistband drawsting like the Lulu version, but what I actually think is better is that it has zip side pockets that will actually fit my phone in. One thing that really annoyed me with the Lulu is that I can’t fit my phone in the pocket which is frustration when I am out on a dog walk in the summer.

The major difference is that it’s missing the mesh panel, but the overall rating of this short is high and have the same super light sweat-wicking fabric and I would certainly look at buying these again. I think these are a really good option and are so far one of my favourite amazon finds.

6. CRZ YOGA Women Strappy Sports Bras

The CRZ Yoga strappy sports bra is once again super buttery soft and is a dupe of the Lululemon Energy bra Longline version.

Though this bra was nice and soft included removable pads, it had no where near enough support for me even as a low impact top. The lower band also did roll up a little which I would find uncomfortable to wear.

I think this could be a great bra for a smaller cup size, it just wasnt supportive for me or the type of activity I do

7. CRZ YOGA Womens Fleece Lined Half Zip Hoodie With Thumb Holes

This one is my all time favorite lululemon dupes from this haul and I am absolutely in love with this jumper. This is a dupe of the lululemon scuba hoodie which is usually prices at around €120. so at half the price you are saving a pretty penny. Though I know the Lulu version will likely feel a lot more luxurious I am impressed with the higher quality feel of this jumper. It has a really nice back detail, thumb holes and a big pocket at the front which has an extra pocket that you can securley hold your phone in.

It’s a really beautiful oversized fit, the 69% cotton gives it a really soft feel and comes in a wide range of colour options.

I am most impressed with this jumper, I think it’s my favourite find and will buy again in more colours.

I actually have gone on to get the real version. Well, my Mum actually got it for me for my birthday. The hood is slightly bigger and a better shape, but the real jumper is actually a little thinner in material. The zipper is also better quality. BUT, the dupe is still amazing for around £80 difference!!

Whilst the real one is nice for a treat. For every day where and because I am a bit of a scruff, the dupe is an amazing affordable option. I also found that the dupe comes in better size and colour ranges.

@emmacolseynicholls

Lululemon Dupe v’s the real thing!! Is it worth paying an extra £80 just for the logo and the name?? What do you think? Trying it on again and watching it back I think I am going to return it and get the size down. If I’m spending this much money on a jumper it needs to be right. And whilst this is nice for a birthday treat if I was buying again, and I will get the pink one, but I’ll be sticking with the £40 version #workoutclothes

Final Thoughts: Are Amazon Lululemon Dupes Worth It?

If you’re looking for budget-friendly activewear, the CRZ Yoga line is well worth exploring. While some items fell short (like the sports bra), many exceeded expectations—especially the hoodie and dolphin shorts, I WILL be purchasing more of these.

Dupes can never truly replicate the luxury of high-end brands like Lululemon, but they can offer a practical solution for building your fitness wardrobe without overspending.

Gonna dig out some old vids and combos and see what I can get back. This was lots of fun.

Your skin is your biggest organ and so health isn’t just what you out in it, but it’s also important to mindful of what you put on it. 

I’ll never be perfect but I try and make natural beauty swaps where I can. 

And adding Beef Tallow is one recent natural beauty swap iv made recently and I’m in LOVE with this product. Especially on my dry AF flakey legs too
